FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – It didn’t have the flash or flourish of last weekend’s 4-0 win over Orlando City SC, but Saturday night’s hard-fought 1-0 triumph over the Montreal Impact was just as critical in the New England Revolution’s postseason push.
The win – New England’s fifth straight at Gillette Stadium, the last four by shutout – pulled the Revs to within one point of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference ahead of a critical two-game road trip through Atlanta and Kansas City next week.
“That’s what it’s going to take,” Lee Nguyen said of the Revs’ 90-minute effort.
